Shen shi's eyes were flushed red, and the hair on the temples was slightly scattered due to the pulling just now. Seeing Luo Shen's eyes looking at him with concern, he couldn't help but look ashamed and whispered: "This kind of thing happened today, making the little lady laugh."

Ah Ting was awakened by the noise outside the car just now, and said angrily: "Second sister-in-law, that person is too bad to treat you like this! I'm so mad at me! Fortunately, my sister-in-law is here!"

Shen shi's face was even more ashamed, and tears flickered in the corners of his eyes.

Luoshen handed her a white handkerchief, Shen shi thanked her in a low voice, took it, wiped the corners of her eyes, smoothed her hair, calmed down, and told the whole story.

The Shen family's family was in Shangyang County, not far from Jingkou. Before Nandu, the Shen family and Jiang Tao's ancestors had an old relationship. When Jiang Taonan came down to Jingkou, the old lady of the Shen family was still alive. The old man maintains a Confucian style. First, he misses the old friends of the two families. Second, he also values ​​Jiang Tao's talent and learning. In spite of the opposition of several sons in the family, he married his daughter to Jiang Tao.

The family status of the Shen family is high or low in the local area. For the sake of the family, several brothers have been working hard to enter the ranks of the nobility. At that time, they were planning to marry their sister into the Gu family, but I didn't expect the old lady to arrange this way. Dare not to speak out, but to obey.

A few years later, the old man passed away. Several of the Shen brothers were increasingly dissatisfied with their sister's marriage, thinking that it was a shame of the family, which hindered the communication between the Shen family and the local gentry, and always wanted to break it up. However, the Shen family and her husband had a good relationship. Her brother and sister-in-law asked her to divorce her several times, but she rejected them. The relationship between the brothers and sisters was like water and fire, but because of Li Mu, the brothers of the Shen family could only secretly hate them.

There is also a mother, Mrs. Zhang, in the family of Shen's family. The mother is kind and loving to her daughter. In the first few years, she had secret contacts with Mrs. Shen. Later, she was discovered by her son. She was noisy every day. Mrs. Zhang was afraid that her daughter and son-in-law would be threatened and harassed by her son again. , was forced to cut off contact.

In a few days, it will be Mother Shen's 60th birthday. Mother Shen's body has deteriorated so badly in recent years that she can almost only lie on the bed. In order to look good, the brothers of the Shen family completely disregarded their mother's body. Knowing that her mother was in poor health, she felt sad in her heart when she heard the news, thinking that she hadn't seen each other for several years, and she was even more concerned about her mother.

Although Jiang Tao's ancestor was a Confucian sect and was also a prefect, but now the world has changed greatly, Xuanfeng is in power, and the road to promotion for a poor family like him is even more slim. He is full of strategy, but for many years, he has only been able to be a knife and pen official in the yamen, with a meager salary, and he has a son and a daughter at home.

This time, when making clothes for her mother, Mrs. Shen fell in love with Husi. However, the price of lake silk is high, and even making a set of underwear will cost at least one thousand dollars. Shen shi thought about it, and decided to take a piece of the face that his mother gave him in the past as a pawn. If he can make money in the future, he can redeem it.

She didn't want her neighbors to see her going in and out of the pawnshop, so she made a special detour to this place in Zhenkou today, and left after she wanted to quietly. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that when I left the **** shop, I actually met Shen San who was passing by, and this was the scene just now.

Shen shi looked at Luoshen, her eyes shy, and she was grateful: "Just now, I thank the little lady a lot. If you didn't come, I really don't know how to end when I meet a brother like me..."

Thinking of the scene just now, she couldn't help but the corners of her eyes turned slightly red.

When Shen shi was talking about it, Luoshen suddenly thought that apart from the disparity between the family and the court, Shen shi was willing to marry Jiang Tao, but he was forced to, and his marriage with Shen shi was somewhat similar.

It's just that the Shen family is vicious, and her parents and brothers all feel bad for her.

Compared to Shen shi, he is really lucky.

Luoshen sighed in his heart, reached out and shook Shen's hand, and comforted: "A-sister-in-law and I are polite. You are willing to be poor and don't admire wealth and honor, so I admire you very much. You are Langjun's sister-in-law, and naturally you are me. My sister-in-law. Don't worry, if your brother comes to mess with you in the future, I will definitely help you. When I go back, I will also inform Lang Jun about it, so that he can have a good idea. "

Shen shi boarded the boat that day to welcome her relatives. The first impression this Gao shi's daughter left her was noble and estranged.

The next day, she stopped at the door and felt that she was quite gentle, and there was no arrogance and arrogance in her demeanor and words.

But I didn't expect that she was still so considerate. Knowing that he was embarrassed, he spoke out to resolve it, and he was warm-hearted. It's very different from the noble lady she originally imagined.

Shen shi was deeply moved: "Thank you little lady. For today's matter, I will represent my husband and thank the little lady again. It's just that there are a lot of things to respect the ministers. This kind of trivial matter can be ignored in the past, and you don't need to bother him any more."

A Ting said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, you don't know, my brother-in-law scares my sister-in-law! As long as my sister-in-law speaks, brother-in-law will take care of me, don't worry!"

A Ting was ignorant and ignorant, but Luo Shen felt emotional when he said this.

Then Li Mu committed the following crime and forced himself to marry him. What was his intention, he was still confused. But one thing, she is very clear.

Ah Ting thought he was afraid of himself, but why was he afraid?

Luoshen always felt that others, predecessors and later generations, on the surface, tolerated him in every possible way, patiently and considerately, and looked at him as if he was bullying him because of his high status, but in reality, this person was very insidious.

He didn't really take himself seriously at all!

Luoshen didn't want to let it go. After thinking about it, he was angry again, but he didn't show it on his face. Seeing Shen shi smiling at him, he could only suppress his anger and respond with a smile.

Jingkou was not too big, and they talked all the way, and soon they reached the vicinity of the Temple of the City God. Passers-by recognized the ox cart and guessed that the daughter of Jiankang Gao, who was newly married by the Li family, was sitting there, and they all stopped to watch.

Luoshen asked the driver to take Shen shi home first, passing by the door, Shen shi thanked him repeatedly and invited Luoshen to come in and sit.

On the one hand, it is difficult to accept the kindness. On the other hand, if you don't enter the door, it will make you look down on him, so Luoshen is invited to get out of the car and enter with A Ting.

"My family is poor, and I don't have good tea, so don't laugh, little lady."

Although Shen shi took the initiative to invite her, but seeing her in gorgeous clothes, like a goddess of Yaotai, standing in front of her own door, the eaves of the door became more and more shabby, and her heart was inevitably a little uneasy.

"Why? A-sister-in-law invited me to treat me as her own."

Luoshen smiled and entered the courtyard.

The Jiang family is a single-family courtyard. The courtyard is not big, but it is very clean. The furnishings in the house are simple and outdated, but in good order. A seven- or eight-year-old girl was sitting on a small bench, her head bowed and sewing clothes, while a smaller boy, dragging a broom under his crotch, rode around the yard in a horse-riding shape, making a driving sound. Both of them were born with clear eyes and beautiful eyes. They were very happy when their mother returned, and ran out to greet them.

The two brothers and sisters had seen Luoshen, and they knew that this fair-looking person was the new daughter-in-law of Uncle Li's family. After calling "Auntie" according to their mother's instructions, they were very restrained at first and only stood by Ah Ting. On the side, he glanced at her curiously from time to time. Gradually seeing her gentle and amiable, he also asked Ah Ting to bring delicious candied candies from the car to share with him, which soon became familiar. The little girl went to make tea, and the little boy happily helped his sister make the fire, very Warm.

The Jiang family's house was in the alley, and it was very clean on weekdays. Not long after Luoshen came, all the women in the neighborhood heard the news, and the door became lively. At first, everyone just stood in the courtyard and watched, not daring to come in, until Luoshen opened his mouth to invite, and Shen Shi and A Ting were busy serving tea and water, and everyone entered the house.

Luoshen was surrounded in the middle, and everyone said a word to me, and everyone competed to talk to each other.

Although Luo Shenhua didn't have many people, he always had a smile on his face, and he didn't show any air.

A Ju, who was watching this scene, had mixed feelings in her heart.

She had never dreamed before that the little lady who grew up under the green roof and carved beams and painted buildings would one day sit like this under a few feet of roof tiles in such a poor street, drinking rough tea, putting down her body, and having a good time. A group of alley women socialize and make friends.

If the eldest princess found out, I don't know what she would think.

"Uncle!"

A girl from the Jiang family suddenly called out from the door.

The women in the room stopped talking and turned around to look.

Luoshen raised his eyes and saw a figure coming in from the courtyard gate, crossing the courtyard, and stopping outside the threshold.

When the woman saw Li Mu's arrival, she knew that he was here to pick up his daughter-in-law.

If it was before, because of the alienation of Gao's daughter, everyone would not dare to joke. I've gotten to know her a little now, and knowing that she's not high above, the women can't hold back their squeamishness, and they all laughed and said, "Why, I haven't seen the bride for a while, so I'm so eager to pick her up. Are you afraid that we will bully the bride?"

Li Mu smiled without saying a word, bowed to the women, looked at Luoshen, and said softly, "If you want to sit again, I will come and pick you up later."

The women were just joking. Knowing that the two of them were newly married, they must have just mixed oil with honey and wished they could be together all the time. Since Li Mu came to pick up someone and talk to the bride, his tone was so gentle, which he had never seen before, and he couldn't help laughing.

Luoshen could only get up, smiled and thanked Shen for the reception, pretending to be shy, with his head bowed slightly, he was sent away by Shen and the women and boarded the car to leave.

Back at Li's house, the sun was setting.

Lu Shi was waiting for Li Mu and Luoshen to come back. The two had just entered the house, and before Luo Shen could speak, Ah Ting sent Brother Ah to Sister-in-law and himself this morning, but he left without even entering the door, and he didn't come to pick them up. My sister-in-law told her how she went back to town.

Lu Shi was very unhappy and blamed his son.

Seeing Li Mu standing there without saying a word, being taught by his mother, Luo Shen finally felt more comfortable in his heart, and when he saw that the scolding was almost done, he pretended to persuade him. He went up to hold Lu Shi's hand and whispered: "Ajia, I really don't mind, you don't have to scold him. He should have something to do, he didn't mean to tell me and A Ting to wait. No, we came back ourselves. "

Seeing her being so considerate, Mrs. Lu was deeply moved, and felt even more guilty. She patted Luo Shen's hand lightly, turned to her son, and sighed, "What kind of blessing did you cultivate in your previous life to marry such a good Ami now? What are you doing standing there! Ami thinks that she is tired, so why don't you send her back to the room soon and make a good apology to her?"

Li Mu responded and looked at Luoshen.

Luoshen smiled extremely generously: "I'm not tired, let's take Ajia back to the house first."

She helped Lu Shi and sent her back to her room. She turned around and saw Li Mu standing beside her, looking at her. The smile on her face turned cold. The faint fragrance that passed by floats in the breath, if there is nothing, it is refreshing.
